Trying to narrow it down...

We are getting a new boy in about 2 weeks and choosing a name is just as difficult as when we got Gunnar. He is fawn with a black mask also but he has a white stripe on his nose.

Here are some that we like, let me know what you guys all think, any help would be great...

Igor
Simon
Boris
Moose
Rogan
Luther
Winston
Dexter

I like Winston I think it goes well with Gunnar I know how hard it is to choose a name We just got a new Boxer baby a girl Our first female boxer and it took a week before she had a name, and one everyone in the family could agree with, So maybe it will be easier when you bring your new boy home to see what he looks like to you ..Good Luck & Congrats

Gunnar sounds good with Moose. You know, yell Gunnar and ____, see how it flows. I still say you should go with Ty.(My previous reply to related post)

Hi, I love the name Boris. There are 2 reasons for this.
1 - I am a huge tennis fan & loved to watch Boris Becker play.
2 - I used to own a very feisty Ginger tom cat called Boris.

I think Winston is a very "cool" name - I like it a lot! Gunnar and Winston. Yep, that has a nice ring to it.

They look like fine names to me, good luck with the choice.

I heard somewhere that names with 'ie' or 'y' or 'ee' on the end can make it easier for dogs to understand you mean them (more fun or something) but I'm not sure that is exactly the case in reality..........

I like Winston; I think boxers have such a personality that a name should reflect their character. (Winston Churchill) Same Jowls LOL. I wish I had of named MY Boy Duke, "Chester", he reminds me so much of a school bus driver I had as a kid, very jovial personality and big Chest.
